Desi Blog of the Day - Uber Desi

Welcome to Gauravonomics Blog! Subscribe to my combined feed in a feed reader or by e-mail and you'll never miss a single post. Thanks for visiting!

Today’s Desi Blog of the Day is ‘Uber Desi’.

Three reasons why I love ‘Uber Desi’ -

- They discovered Sanjaya Malakar and Shyamali Malakar.
- They have the coolest rotating header images ever.
- Gauravonomics is one of the seven ‘Uber Reads’ on their sidebar. :-)

My tip to Uber Desi: Think of what next after Sanjaya Malakar.

So, why is ‘Uber Desi’ the Desi Blog of the Day? Because they are the only other desi pop culture blog worth reading, apart from ‘Sepia Mutiny’ and ‘UltraBrown’.

Blog-Search Shootout - Technorati vs. Google

In response to Robert Scoble’s call to test Technorati Search vs Google Blog Search, I decided to search for Sanjaya and Shyamali Malakar (something I have been doing frequently anyway) -

- Sanjaya Malakar (without quotes) has 9988 results on Technorati (including 588 results from blogs with a lot of authority) versus 16437 results at Google Blog Search

- Shyamali Malakar (without quotes) has 517 results on Technorati (including 51 results from blogs with a lot of authority) versus 420 results at Google Blog Search

While the results from both Google Blog Search and Technorati don’t look like spam, I personally prefer to use Technorati because it allows me to filter results based on the authority of the blogs.

The verdict then? Based on number of search results - inconclusive. Based on usability - definitely Technorati.

By the way, it’s that time of the week again when I write a Sanjaya Malakar post. This week, I have two or three up my sleeve, and I’m not even counting this one. :-)
